50 Cent trades mansions for hostels in new ad

The bankrupt rapper, 40, is the star of a new ad for Hostelworld that parodies the old MTV series “Cribs.”

In the video, cheekily titled “In Da Hostel,” 50 hams it up while leading a tour of one of the company’s glitzy-but-affordable lodgings in Barcelona, showing off a lounge packed with “dope-ass books,” tour bus-like rooms and an on-site nightclub.

“We are so happy to have converted 50 Cent into a hosteller – he’s found the best way to live like a millionaire without having to part with crazy amounts of money in the process,” the company told The Guardian. “We look forward to welcoming the rest of the world’s music elite at our hostels very soon.”

Of course, the emcee may be going back to five-star hotels soon. On Thursday, reports emerged that a judge had approved a $23.4 million repayment plan that would help him emerge from bankruptcy, reports Market Watch.
